This is a blog I worte back in 2005 while deployed to Iraq
Today I was out on mission and, since my job consist of dropping people off somewhere and then sitting around for hours waitng for them to need a pick up, I found myself thinking back to some of the old toys I used to play with as a child.
One of the things I remember was this little looking glass that had a lens with multiple facets. Each facet saw aproximatly the same thing but at just a slightly different angle. The effect was such that the facets on opposite sides actually showed completely diferent images while the images next to one another were practicaly indistinguishable in difference. Each one once clear and undistorted showing a true image from its individual angle. But if all were focussed on at once it showed a conglomeration the was beautiful and interesting in that you could to some degree tell what you were looking at, but not entirely, and the details escaped you completely.
